Applying alfalfa in August depends on your climate and plants:

  • Warm climates (e.g., California): Generally fine
  • Cold climates with short growing seasons: Not recommended
  • Roses and shrubs: Risky in cold areas due to frost danger
  • Annual flowers: Usually safe by August

Consider your local climate and plant types when deciding. For specific advice, provide your location and target plants.

The amount of alfalfa meal to add to your compost pile depends on several factors:

  • Size of your compost pile
  • Current nutrient balance
  • Other materials in the pile

As a general guideline:

  • For a small home compost bin (about 3x3x3 feet), start with 1-2 cups of alfalfa meal.
  • For larger piles, use about 1 cup per cubic yard of compost material.

Add the alfalfa meal in layers, mixing it with other compost materials. Monitor your pile's temperature and smell. If it becomes too hot or develops an ammonia smell, you've added too much nitrogen-rich material like alfalfa meal.
